Movies you wish you wouldn't have wasted your time on...

O.K. We've seen a few stinkers lately and so I'm wondering what your disappointments are. Now the ones I list, everyone else might have loved them but they didn't work for me!

A couple of mine:

Kung Foo Panda
H** Boy: The Golden Army

Mine are

Six Teen Candels
Stellet Licht (Silent Light) DON"T WATCH IT
The Wager
Forest Gump

And many more

What? Sixteen candles and Forest Gump?! lol

Okay one of mine is ... Doctor Faustus

It stars Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor and this movie is so dumb... I actually didn't really watch it, but I fast fowarded my way through it. The music, the make up, the characters, it was so cheezy! I got a few good laughs out of it.... what where they thinking when they did this movie?!

Dead Poets Society. This is the one movie I wanted to see that my hubby--at the time boyfriend--didn't want to go to. It has to be the worse movie I have ever seen.

Is that the one Matt Damon & Ben Affleck wrote? Maybe I'm thinking of "Good Will Hunting." :think:

I Know Carol I Hear evreybody Talking How Great they are but i have seen both of them But they Stunk Sorry

legends of the fall was one of the worst films i've seen...the soundtrack and cinematography are absolutely beautiful, but the plotline gets more ridiculous as it moves along...if you need to see brad pitt and anthony hopkins together see meet joe black...

that's only my opinion...lots of people loved this film...

A River Runs Through It

:faint2: Three hours of fly fishing. That movie was so boring it made ME look interesting!

It could partly be, though, that I can't stand Brad Pitt.

I think that's Good Will Hunting. Dead Poets Society starred Robin Williams as an English professor at a private school. One of the main characters has an overbearing father who has plans for his son, but when the boy decides to pursue acting the father goes bullistic and the boy ends up killing himself. Robin Williams's character gets in trouble for his unorthodox teaching methods, but the boys stay committed to him; and when he is fired the boys make a display in the classroom. Honestly, the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.

O.K. I think that was one that starred Ethan Hawke.

One that my husband detests: the remake: "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." I admit it was stupid but seems the more I see it, it takes on a weird fascination for me! Totally weird acting by Depp, but it is so funny watching those kids get what's coming to them!

I've never read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but I did see the original Willie Wonka movie with Gene Hackman. Not knowing what the book contains, it seems odd to me that the new version added all this backstory for Willie Wonka--like how he meets the umpa lumpas.

They did the same thing when they remade How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carey and I never saw the point behind it.

Was that the one with Gene Wilder...or before that?

the original one was with gene wilder as willy wonka....the one with johnny depp was closer to the actual story written by roald dahl....the back story about his dad, his obsession with candy and the brace though, cheryl, were added...how he meets the oompa loompas and the songs that they sing were the same as the book

Oh my gosh, I love Dead Poets Society! Carpe Diem! lol
